Ten Ways Not Having a Cheats Leads to Flooding

On New Year's Eve, when the royal family had a family banquet, everyone in Sitian Pavilion also went back to their homes. Only Tao Mujia and dozens of servants were left in the huge Sitian Pavilion.

The servants also had their own families, but Tao Mujia was alone, so he simply canceled the banquet and went to the top floor of the Tiange with a food box.

Dugu Qi lit the Tianbao Lantern on time, and the bright flame illuminated the entire roof of the pavilion through the glazed sheets. Dim in a warm light.

Holding the long pole for lighting the lamp, he looked up at the starry sky beyond the glazed tiles. There was no moonless night, and there was no reunion.

"Dugu Qi."

Tao Mujia's voice brought him back to his senses, Dugu Qi turned his head and saw Tao Mujia standing at the stairs carrying a food box, and asked in puzzlement, "Shouldn't your lord have a family banquet today?"

Tao Mujia smiled absentmindedly: "There's no such thing as a family feast."

Dugu Qi remembered what Tao Mujia said to him during the day, and felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry..."

"It's okay, come down."

"Ok?"

"No one, no one will know that you are not on it now."

"Oh!" Dugu Qi laughed, put down everything in his hand and followed Tao Mujia down to the eighth floor.

On the eighth floor of the Tiange, there is an extended balcony, which can just see the direction of the palace. Tao Mujia arranged the food and called Dugu Qi to come and eat with him.

Tao Mujia had something on his mind, so he didn't speak while eating, and Dugu Qi ate slowly as he watched him.

Halfway through the meal, Tao Mujia suddenly said, "After today, you will be 13 years old."

"Yes."

"When you were asked to come, it seemed that you could not leave until you were 16 years old."

Dugu Qi thought about it, it was true.

"Why did your lord suddenly bring up this matter?"

"You'll be able to go home in three years."

Dugu Qi said with a wry smile, "There are still three years left."

"I don't know how long it will be until I get home."

"If your lord doesn't mind, you can tell Master Qi where his hometown is, and Qi can send the letter on his behalf after he returns."

Tao Mujia could only shake his head, "Forget it, why do I keep telling you these things? If you can send messages, why can't I go back."

Dugu Qi paused and looked at him blankly.

"I'll go to the palace on the third day of junior high school. If you have anything you want to say to your mother, write it down and I'll deliver the letter for you."

Dugu Qi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, took out a letter from his skirt and handed it to Tao Mujia, he knew very well that he couldn't get out of this attic, the letter had already been written.

Tao Mujia didn't read it and put it in his sleeve pocket, but wanted to ask Dugu Qi: "If I don't say this, what should you do with this letter?"

Dugu Qi looked at him with a smile, "Then it can only be burned."

After the two of them finished their meal, Tao Mujia opened a door, pulled Dugu Qi to the balcony and pointed him in the direction of Shi'an Palace. Although the light there was weak, he could still see some features, and he looked a little popular. Dugu Qi knew Ruan Mingzheng felt relieved that she was doing well.

The snow fell on the first day of the new year, the guests came to the door, the snow was swept away on the second day, and the family members visited. Tao Mujia never went up to the top of the Tiange, but with Tao Mujia's special permission, Dugu Qi went down from the top floor to the eighth floor from time to time, pushed open the door, and lay on his stomach. Looking at the figure of Tao Mujia walking in the courtyard from the railing.

Tao Mujia was wearing a dark blue robe with long tails dragging on the white snow, his black hair like a waterfall almost reaching his ankles, probably due to sitting on the Tiange all the year round, his skin was almost as white as snow.

He usually has to dress up when there are people, and when there is no one else, he wears his hair loose, builds a snowman in the yard, and the servants also huddle in the room because of the cold weather, and he and Dugu Qi are left in the front yard.

Lian Kingdom is located in the north, and the snow is as big as a goose feather, falling from the sky one after another, dyeing the black hair into white hair.

There are no carrots these days, so Tao Mujia can only use branches and fruits as eyes, nose and limbs, and then use the branches to write Dugu Qi's name on one of them.

The weather was too cold, his hands were red from the cold, he put his hands into his sleeves, and looked up at Dugu Qi.

Dugu Qi rested his head on his arm, and couldn't help laughing at his movements. After watching for a long time, he turned back to the room to find a pen and paper to write something, crumpled it up and threw it down.

Tao Mujia picked it up, and it said, "My lord, what's the name of the other snowman?" The corners of his mouth gradually flattened, and then he crumpled the paper again.

The second snowman is called Teng Luo or Tao Mujia, he has no conclusion.

He raised his head and mouthed to Dugu Qi and said, "Go back, it's cold outside."

Dugu Qi nodded, closed the door and went back to the top floor, Tao Mujia dropped the branch and left the front yard.

There are only two snowmen left in the courtyard.

Entering the palace on the third day of junior high school, Tao Mujia went to talk to Liancha as usual, and then went to Shi'an Palace with Duguqi's letter.

Shi'an Palace was always inferior to other palaces, the snow didn't reach ankles and no one swept it, the palace was silent, only a few rooms were hung with thick curtains, he walked outside the bedroom and knocked on the door.

Ruan Mingzheng's cold and hoarse voice let him in.

The room is still warm, and Ruan Mingzheng is sewing again, probably for Dugu.

Seeing him, Ruan Mingzheng was obviously surprised and uneasy, but quickly adjusted, put down the things in his hands, and saluted Tao Mujia.

Tao Mujia didn't bring any guards with him this time, he moved a stool and sat in front of Ruan Mingzheng, and handed Dugu Qi's letter to her.

"Dugu Qi misses you, let me bring you a letter."

Ruan Mingzheng took it nervously, and opened the envelope in a panic. Seeing that nothing bad was said inside, her expression eased.

"If you have anything you want to give to Dugu, I can also give it to him for you." Tao Mujia looked at the clothes beside Ruan Mingzheng.

Ruan Mingzheng stroked the clothes at hand and handed them to Tao Mujia.

"It's all my fault, and I don't know if Ah Qi has gained weight or lost weight. I made these clothes with his appearance in mind. I hope they still fit."

Tao Mujia smiled, "He has indeed grown taller, but he can still wear these clothes."

Ruan Mingzheng lowered the corners of her mouth, didn't say much, and handed the things in her hand to Tao Mujia, reluctantly letting go.

"Thank you, Mr. National Teacher."

"You don't have to thank me, you should thank your child. Without Dugu Qi, you would not be safe and sound now. I know you have hatred in your heart, but for the sake of your child, I will give you a piece of advice. Let go of the hatred."

Ruan Mingzheng squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for your teaching, Master Guoshi. I will definitely stop acting impulsively. I am magnanimous and don't care about what happened before. I am very grateful."

Tao Mujia saw that she had a good attitude, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, "In a few days for the Spring Festival, you have to pray for Dugu on behalf of Dugu, and don't make any mistakes again."

"Remember, concubine."

Tao Mujia left with a pile of clothes, and Ruan Mingzheng raised his head to look in the direction he left after a while after he left. His slightly long nails had already sunk into his flesh, and his crumpled handkerchief was stained with blood.

She turned her head to look at Zhu Chai on the dressing table, the grief in her eyes was hard to suppress.

"For A Qi's sake...heh," she said with a wry smile, "you know what we've been through, but thanks to you..."

Before Tao Mujia entered the palace, he sent the pile of books in his study to Tiange. There were some notes made by Teng Luo in it. He wanted to help Dugu Qi. Dugu Qi flipped through the books with notes, and suddenly a picture fell out of it. Paper.

Dugu Qi didn't want to open it at first, but the big characters "Wu Guo" under the paper still caught his attention.

The paper was already a little yellowed, and he almost tore the paper when he opened it.

This is a family letter, a letter from Wu State to Teng Luo, which states that five years ago, the Teng clan fought against the invasion of the Lian State, and all died in frontier battles. Only one son was taken as a hostage in the State of Qi. The servant of the Teng family asked someone to write this letter to Teng Luo, hoping that he would come back soon to revive the family.

Dugu Qi frowned, turned over a few pages of the book and found another letter. The other letter said that the servant who sent this letter could not be found, and he did not write down the information of that person when he wrote the letter. , I don’t even know where my hometown is.

He flipped through a few more pages and found the last letter. The person who wrote the letter said that because of General Teng's ineffective use of troops, Wu State lost most of its territory.

Dugu Qi stared blankly at these three letters, an indescribable feeling grew and spread from the bottom of his heart, maybe it was sympathy for each other, maybe it was filled with emotions, he never imagined that there would be such a coincidence in the world, and there would be no Thinking about it, uncovering the truth will become even more confusing.

"So I can't go back again, that's what I mean." For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel sorry for Teng Luo or himself more. If Teng Luo hated Wu Guo, he might find it difficult to go back.

He put these things away and put them back as if they had never been opened. When Tao Mujia came up, he met him tidying up these things. After giving Ruan Mingzheng's things to Dugu Qi, he was about to leave. Dugu Qi stopped him.

"My lord, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

Dugu Qi said hesitantly: "It's about me being a disaster star."

Tao Mujia looked at him, and said after a while, "You are not a disaster star."

"Then why..."

"In order to protect you, Dugu Yu, your father, stupid and stupid, and your brothers are all afraid of the status of your mother and son. You think you are so young and can live for a few years."

Dugu Qi was taken aback by what he said, even 1551 couldn't help saying: It sounds like it's true.

But it does make some sense.

Dugu Qi licked his dry lips, and asked again: "Then will you let me go back?"

"Why not?"

Dugu Qi met his deep eyes, and his heart suddenly settled down.

Everything has been said, there is no need to be more suspicious, not to mention that it is useless for him to be suspicious now. If Teng Luo really hates Wu Guo, there is no need to bring him to Lian Guo, and directly help Lian Cha to attack Wu Guo. Can.

Although he still can't understand why Teng Luo wants to help Liancha, but now he still chooses to trust the person in front of him.

"Thank you sir."

Tao Mujia looked at him and didn't know what to say, so he left Tiange alone.
